About this product
Carel is a Parisian footwear house founded in 1952 by Georges and Rosa Carel, celebrated for redefining French style through shoes that balance elegance, comfort, and freedom of movement. From its iconic low "trotteur" heel to timeless Mary Jane silhouettes like the Kina, the Maison has remained a symbol of joyful, feminine design for more than seventy years. Crafted in Italy and rooted in exceptional savoir-faire, Carel continues to reinterpret its heritage with vibrant colors, distinctive details, and contemporary collaborations. Beloved by generations of women, the brand embodies an effortless Parisian spirit where timeless craftsmanship meets modern style. The Ariana Ballet Flat reinterprets Carel's iconic Kina Mary Jane through the graceful simplicity of a classic ballet flat, offering an elegant silhouette with exceptional everyday comfort. Handcrafted in Italy from intricately braided cognac leather, the design showcases rich texture and artisanal craftsmanship while maintaining a timeless, versatile appeal. Three signature adjustable straps can be fastened in multiple ways, allowing for a personalized fit while highlighting the maison's distinctive design language. Finished with a flexible leather sole enhanced by a discreet rubber insert and a low 1 cm heel, the Ariana balances heritage craftsmanship with effortless wearability for refined everyday elegance.
